the_game 452 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 The Mako II tapered shaft looks interesting. Any positive buzz? I've been in the market for a new shaft and the number of models on the market seems to be shrinking.Not sure if you're still interested but I have the Original Mako Tapered Shaft & the Mako II Tapered shaft, both in 85 Flex and feel like the Mako II plays slightly stiffer than the OG Mako. Personally I prefer the OG Mako Shaft over the Mako II. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 Those Mako elbow pads remind me a lot of the Warrior Projekt elbows. I wonder if they fit even remotely as well..The pants are extremely mobile; it has a 2-way belt system which sits on the hips - instead of having a belt that comes across your stomach, it actually stops at the ends. You pull each strap like a parachute chute and it holds it in place. Fully vented and different grade nylons in certain areas. The old EQ series pants tightened the same way. I thought I would like it (having a belly on me) but I really didn't. At least the top end Mako pants have laces (something the lower end ones dont have).I really liked them in the store when I saw them, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyscrape 5 Report post Posted May 18, 2013 ANy word on release of the E28 in other sticks, stronger flex, or replacement blades? My Mako II lasted 4 skates before it felt like a 70 flex. EVeryone would say "no way that is a 100 flex stick". Worse part was, at first it was whippy but had pop....4 skates in whippier and no longer any pop. SO now I look for the E28 as I think it is one of the best curves on the market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BureKovy 20 Report post Posted May 21, 2013 Will Easton only be releasing the E28 in a OPS Mako II? No changes until next year? I would love to get it in a tapered blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AIREAYE 248 Report post Posted May 28, 2013 Had another chance to try on the new Pro glove as well as the Mako. Fingers are quite snug on both gloves, snugger than Vapor, about on par with Supreme. Still can be considered a tapered style of glove with the backrolls and cuff opening up.Incredibly comfortable palms on both. Fast Fingers feature is a plus as well, still good mobility.The thing that I didn't like on the Mako was that the section of the glove between the backhand and where the fingers start was too tight, meaning that as I closed my hand, the glove dug into my knuckles.

IW Team - Chase 184 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Damn, I was looking forward to the R800. Any word on why it was scrapped? It wasn't working out aesthetically as well as structurally. The protection didn't live up to the hype and I guess it just didn't look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aeo 2 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Any word on when this new iginla will be out? Has anyone seen it?I saw the catalog today. E36 = P/C36 its a landeskog clone . Its offered on most models not just the v9. The E28 is still only offered on the top model. No mention of shafts or blades in the catalog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chippa13 1844 Report post Posted July 11, 2013 The Iginla has been the E7. Are you saying that the E7 no longer exists going forward? If the closest thing will be the Landeskog clone then Easton will have lost me and my only option will be the Bauer P12 through MyBauer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooah4 12 Report post Posted July 11, 2013 I've been under the impression that the new Iginla (or whatever it will be called) is a clone of the Bauer P88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeo 2 Report post Posted July 11, 2013 To clarify the e36 was referred to as a iginla prostock I believe. The e7 is still there. E36 is similar to a Kane. Not very open and a deep mid curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
